Need more footage of our young rooks like Davis, Thomas, Hernandez etc; they were playing on the other court!

Kawhi gone. Green gone.

He's bout to get massive minutes

Remember when people had big expectations when Carroll was on load management/injured and Norm just couldnt fill that gap in the starting lineup.

He went on a reset after that, inconsistent, turning to Herbie Kuhn to become his Chaplain and Norm took a giant look at the concept of faith in his life.

He is ready now, mentally, not just physically.

You can see him picking his spots in the pick up runs, doesn't need to over-handle it - ready to give drop passes in the lane to Boucher for dunks, hitting his open 3s. Going to his moves with purpose and poise

Also a big difference between playing 2 guard and SF.

When he was starting at the 3 he was next to Kyle and Demar (primary ball handlers) and guarding the big wing on the other team.

As the starting 2 he can handle the ball more and defend guys the same size as him

He has a huge opportunity now and I hope he focuses on efficient basketball and good defense

Very good point. Norm has athleticism and arm length on almost all players at the 2, move him to the 3 and his effectiveness ceiling drops further

Demar, the taller player giving the tough guard to a shorter norm on those nights...no defensive pride there and Casey let him get away with it from day 1 après Bosh...

A lot of people wondering why we're not seeing any footage of Dewan, TD, and Robsinon.

They've been uploading clips of them working literally all summer long on Twitter and Instagram. You have to actually follow them in order to see it.
No one's gonna upload a full workout video of Devin Robinson on Youtube like they did for Siakam.

TD literally uploaded a story of him entering the OVO Athletic Center an hour ago. So fret not, the boys are putting in work!

I hope Ibaka fed him some form of anus.
KD always looks so damn miserable.

The top one is especially bad. Hopefully it was him just being lazy in warm up but thats not a good sign either....

The "flick" in his release is what makes him inconsistent then he brings his shooting hand back into his body when he should be following through.

Could be fixed but surprised he hasn't changed at that at this point in his career.

i think his jumper needs a huge rework in general if hes going to unlock his upside

Stanley just isnt athletic enough to get by on just his body (plays below the rim and has trouble finishing over contact) so he needs to make a major leap in his skills to stay in the league.

OG & Stanley are taking part in the annual Kobe’s Mamba Sports Invitational with a whole bunch of other NBA players (Kyrie, Tobias, Fox, Murray, etc.)

I right there with you. Only guys I am excited for are Terence and Dewan a little bit as well - would love more footage of those two. Dewan will be a project but there is upside there. 905 guy all next year. Terence is only guy we added this offseason I'm pumped about. I don't think he will be a superstar or anything, but I am very optimistic on him that he can carve out a role as undrafted FA similar to Wes Matthews and be a high end, role playing 2 way guard for us. I'm expecting him to dominate G league and then get some reps at some point with the big squad this year.

One more rook I am very curious about is Konate too; guy looks like a beast but too bad he is still going through rehab on his knee. The fact that they are taking on an injured player into training camp means Masai and team must be really high on him.

Had a dream a few days a go that, I tuned in near the end of the first game, and the screen read as followed.

S.Johnson - Triple-Double, with 48 points
Konate - 5 blocks
Hernandez - Double-Double
Davis Jr. - 5 three pointers
